We heard that Edna Mat thes received a beautiful orchid— and we can guess who from. Betty Hanson also was presented with an orchid by one whom Cupid srtuck some time ago. Bed roses were much in demand and were-receiv ed by those girls who are fortunate enough to have thoughtful beaus. Too bad that Valentine Day' can’t be every week! Friends of Perry James who have been wondering where he is will be interested to learn that he is in the Medical College of Virginia, undergoing a thorough physical ex amination. His parents left this week-end to visit him. He should be back with us in about a week— much to the joy of one Kathryn Kester, a mighty cute girl. Orchids this week go to those of the annual staff who have finally succeeded in getting the annual material in the mail and on its way to the publishers. They have all done a grand job and every student at NHHS is proud of them and grateful. Patsy Hardwick, George Darden, Kathryn Kester, Douglas McKoy, Miss Annie B. Barksdale, typing teacher, and Miss Virginia Walsh, English in structor have done the work and for a job well done, we thank them. i see mat Mr. ana Mrs. Itacnard Watts have paid us a visit. These two will be remembered as Betty Harriss, outstanding for her lead ership ability at NHHS, and Dicky Watts, ‘‘the one and only,” the proud possessor of that orange and black car, and a fella that we shall never forget. Good luck, you two. Saw Piggy Dychess walking down street the other day. Seems like he just can’t stay away from this place. He’s a member of the Merchant Marines, but at present he isn’t assigned to any ship. We’re all glad he’s home. Hope he’ll soon be coming home to stay. If you can’t find anybody on the street and all the drugstores are vacant, just go to the Teen-Age club and you’ll find all of your pals there. It’s a good place to be ■when things get sort of dull. Just ask Jane Head, Frefi Hatch, Finkie Marlowe, or any of the other fre quenters of the club. Everybody has fun there, so join the crowd. They’re all going to the TAC. Looks as if that about does it for today. I’ll scout around and see ■whose secrets I can divulge before pext time, so until then, “So long!” * • • Episcopal Women Will Serve Supper The Woman’s auxiliary of St. Paul’s Episcopal church, 16th and Market street, will prepare and serve a turkey supper on Wednes day evening, February 20.

Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Lynch and family have moved from their apartment at 221 South Fifth street to their attractive new home at 501 Dock street. Charlie Dicken son, who, incidentally, is Virginia Dickenson Lynch’s father, recent ly purchased the Bluethenthal home on the corner of Fifth and Dock straets, renovated and re decorated it throughout, and made it into two luxurious, modern apartments, one of which Virginia and Teddy will call HOME from Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ganstier motored to Pinehurst on Wednes day for the day, on business. Mrs. Carl Powers expects to leave on Tuesday by motor for Winston - Salem where she will make her home in future with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. James K. Paul, who moved to the Piedmont section to live on January lt and have taken a love ly horme in REYNOLDA, the fash ionable suburb of the Twin-City. Wilmington will sustain a real loss when Ethel Powers moves away, for there isn’t a more patriotic, civic minded, unselfish, and genu inely liked person in our midst that she is. W’e trust that she will come back to see us often, re membering always to call ’Wil mington HOME. Captain and Mrs. Homer Mc Gara of Pittsburg, Pa., have re turned to their home after a week’s visit with Mrs. McGara’s sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Hardin at their home on South Fourth street. Prior to her marriage on Christmas day Mrs. McGara was the former Esther S k e 1 d i n g of Charlotte, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. b! Skelding. Miss Helen Clark of Tarboro is visiting her sister, Mrs. Horace Emerson at her home, 621 Dock street. Helen, who is a former Wil mingtonian, and a very popular one at that, has been extensively entertained by her many friends since her arrival here two weeks aero. Mrs. Graham Kenan has joined her sister, Mrs. J. K. Wise in St. Augustine, Fia., and they will spend the remainder of the winter season at their suite in the Ponce de Leon Hotel. Friends of Murray James, well known local attorney, will regret to hear that he is a patient at James Walker Memorial hospital where for three weeks past he has undergone treatment. Mr. and Mrs. William Yarbor ough and two children of Raleigh have returned to their home. Mrs. Yarborough who is pleasantly known here as the former Janie Boatwright, together with her chil dren, spent eighteen months with her mother, Mrs. Swift M. Boat wright at her home on South Third street while Bill Yarborough saw service overseas. Upon his release from duty, Bill visited our city and accompanied his family to Ra leigh. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Cor nelius VanLeuven will be delight ed to learn that they are expected home early this week from Balti more where for six weeks they have been recuperating from re cent illnesses, first at Johns Hop kins hospital and later at the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stewart. Mrs. Stewart will accompany her parents to Wilmington and remain as their guest lor several days at their home, 1705 Princess street. I know you will remember her as | our exquisite, glamorous Lilly VanLeuven. She very definitely has lost none of her charm in the dozen or so years that Maryland’s gain has been our loss. The Thalian Association, the old est Little Theatre in America, will present “The Doughgirls,’’ their second major production of the season, on Thursday and Friday evenings, February 21st and 22nd, at Thalian Hall, at 8:30 o’clock. “The Doughgirls” is a sizzling comedy and will be directed by Lester W. Preston and Lucy Lon don Nash. The cast is composed of thirty-six names, all well known in dramatic circles. Contrary to persistent current rumors that Thalian Hall had been declared unsafe for use, our City building inspector stated in Thursday night's News that the main floor of the hall is perfectly sound and that the balconies have been closed for some time, so there seems to be nothing to prevent a record attendance on opening night. Following is a partial list" of the cast, all of whom are favor ably known to our theatre going public; Margaret Darst Smith, Mary Cameron, Katherine Laney, Marian Frink, Elizabeth Williams, Pat Pretlow, Swift Boatwright, James I. Metts, and E. C. Snead. I hear the public is invited to wit ness this sparkling production and tickets may be procured at the box office for both performances. Take care of yourself, Peg, and try to avoid catching one of the severe colds that seem to be go ing around at a rapid rate. Write when you have an opportunity and remember that even a few lines from you are always most wel come. With lots of love.

State Clubwomen Will Continue Work With War Savings Division (Continued From Page One) Mrs. Bishopric and hor co-planners realize that the selling job will be much more difficult, but so confi dent she is that women will con tinue to give their services in this nation-wide effort to promote sav ings and prevent inflation she is undertaking to lead the work in North Carolina. Mrs. Bishopric will give to this new and important plan the same leadership she exhibited in putting over the bond selling campaigns during the war, and there is no doubt that many of those women who worked so faithfully and ef ficiently with her will continue to give their time and energy to mak ing a success of this savings plan. All department chairmen in the Federation of Women’s clubs are now calling on clubs to begin tak ing stock of their achievements to data and to take a fresh breath for the remaining months of the current club year. This, the middle of February, is the half-way mark. With the February and March is sues of The North Carolina Club women combined and made a de partment number, the department chairmen through the magazine called attention to the various pro grams and projects and urged clubs and individuals to point to ward winning the prizes offered annually in each department. Re port blanks have been prepared by Mrs. John M. Council, second vice president, and Miss Dorothy Forbes, of Wilmington president of Junior clubs. These will be distri buted by March 1st and are to be filled in and sent to district presi dents by March 31st, though clubs will continue activities until the convention May 29-30-31. The Junior vice-chairmen of de partments have sent their appeals for continued work by Junior clubs. Mrs. Ervin H. Midgette of Elizabeth City, vice-chairman of the American Citizenship depart ment, asks Juniors to revitalize this department at once and points out that the nation is facing the greatest fight of its life . for the right of the common man to pros per according to his merits. . .and the right of independent business to exist and endure. She urges special metings for the discussion of the international crises arising constantly, and the formidable problems on the home front being considered in Washington now ad in the next few weeks. “It is your duty,’’ she tells the Juniors, “to be thinkine women, organized anrl vocal.” Miss Brona Nifong, of Winston Salem, vice-chairman of the Post war Service committee, asks con tinued activity for Red Cross work which still needs daily workers, and for veterans — this to show gratitude to them for their efforts and sacrifices to win the war. A now program initiated this year by the Federation through a special committe in the Public Welfare department is the Birth day Remembrance program. Mrs. Aubrey Mauney of Kings Moun tain, is the committe chairman and she has the program function ing, to the delight of Mrs. Howard G. Etheridge, of Asheville, a past Federation president, who saw the need for such an undertaking and suggested it. Mrs. Etheridge is a member of the State Board of Cor rection and Training. She wanted the children in the institutions re membered on their birthdays and the Federation of Women's clubs undertook the job. Each month the names of children having birth days that month are sent to a dis trict chairman appointed by Mrs. Mauney and the chairman distri butes the names to clubs in her district and either the club or in dividual members sends a gift to children assigned to the club. Not only are the children made hap pier but the clubwomen are learn ing more about these institutions at which the children are cared for and trained. Samuel E. Leon ard, commissioner of Correction, has written an expression of warm appreciation on the part of the Board for “this iine interest the clubs are taking in our boys and girls.” Founders’ Day Noted By Hemenway P.-T.
